Chapter 202 Trust

Chu Xuan was silent for a moment.

In the previous life, not to mention the Wu family taking the initiative to show goodwill, even Wu Bingcheng never took the initiative to show up.

It was probably because she had a bad attitude towards her mother and her in-laws and had a bad character, so the Wu family didn't want to have anything to do with her.

In this life, she separated from Feng Chunhua, considered her biological mother, was responsible for her younger brother, and was kind to her in-laws. Most importantly, she was motivated.

Seeing Chu Xuan silent and dazed, Mu Chenze raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "Xiao Xuan, what are you thinking about?"

Chu Xuan came back to his senses. "The Wu family probably has no intentions towards me. They may have accepted us because they saw that my younger brother and I were teachable. They didn't contact us before because they were probably worried that my younger brother and I would bring shame to the Wu family. Don't forget, my younger brother and I didn't have a good reputation before."

Mu Chenze always stood by Chu Xuan. "You and my younger brother had a bad reputation before, all thanks to Feng Chunhua. Ever since you broke up with Feng Chunhua, you've opened a grilled fish fillet workshop, helped the village build a grilled fish fillet factory, taken care of my younger brother, successfully lost weight, and both your character and appearance have improved! Xiao Xuan, maybe you should take some time to ask our mother about the Wu family."

"Yes. I'll ask before I go to bed tonight. By the way, what's for dinner tonight?"

"I only know that the noodles are dumplings stuffed with Spanish mackerel and chives. As for the other dishes, I haven't asked our mother yet. How about I go and ask now?"

"Please remind our mother to reduce the amount of seafood tonight. I'm worried that grandma and the others might not be able to handle it."

This was the lesson Chu Xuan learned from his previous life.

People from other places came to their village to eat seafood. They thought it tasted good, so they ate without limit and had three meals of seafood a day. As a result, at night, they vomited and had diarrhea and were rushed to the hospital.

Mu Chenze pondered, "How can we reduce the quantity without reducing the style?"

Chu Xuan suggested, "When cooking seafood, add some vegetables and eggs. Fried hairtail with eggplant, stir-fried shrimp with cucumber or celery, fried Spanish mackerel with radish, sea cucumber and vegetable oatmeal porridge, steamed eggs with sea urchin, scrambled eggs with fish roe, stir-fried scallops with onions and green peppers..."

“Good idea!”

Mu Chenze ran to the kitchen and gave Qin Mahua some instructions.

Qin Mahua immediately took it seriously.

We can’t let our in-laws have gastrointestinal problems from eating seafood.

Fortunately, in addition to seafood, we also prepared vegetables, pork and other things at home.

Chu Xuan didn't stay long. After all, her grandmother and mother were still at home. She had to go back and wait for them to wake up and then bring them to the Mu family as guests.

Walk home.

When I was nearing the door of my house, I heard Uncle Zhang's voice.

Chu Xuan was surprised. Didn't he leave? Why did he come back?

There was no rush to go in.

The gate to the courtyard was ajar, and people inside could not see her.

Uncle Zhang's tone was slightly anxious. "Sister-in-law, I'm still worried. I have to come back and give you a few words of advice before I return to Kyoto."

Mrs. Wu spoke with a relaxed tone, "What's there to worry about? Is it because Chu Xuan and his sister call Bingcheng "Dad" so easily?"

"That's right! They must have learned about the Wu family's background and financial resources from Bingcheng's wife, which is why they are so anxious to recognize their father!"

"You misunderstood. The Chu Xuan siblings sincerely call their mother Dad because they are grateful to Bingcheng for taking care of them all these years."

"Tian Xiaoyun is in such poor health, but she can still make Bingcheng dizzy. Now, are Tian Xiaoyun's children going to make you dizzy too?"

"I'm not deceived, but rather clear-eyed and calm. With Xiaoxuan's abilities, even without the help of our Wu family, her future is limitless. If you don't believe me, how about we make a bet?"

"What's the bet?"

"I bet that within three years, Xiao Xuan can earn a hundred thousand yuan without the Wu family's help!"

"Okay! If she can earn it, I will give you the ancestral jade pendant! I will never question Chu Xuan and his brother again."

"Okay! Your jade pendant is very valuable! But it's not enough! I'll give you the small courtyard in Kyoto as a gift to Xiaoxuan."

"No problem! What if she can't earn it?"

"If she can't earn it, you can pick ten of the antiques that Lao Wu left me! I won't have anything to do with her anymore."

"It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

Chu Xuan didn't expect that her grandmother trusted her so much.

Push the door into the yard.

His expression was very calm. "Grandma, Grandpa Zhang, words are not enough. Let's write it down as proof."

Within three years, she will definitely earn 100,000 yuan with her own ability.

Slap Grandpa Zhang in the face for speaking ill of her!

Grandpa Zhang was caught red-handed, but he wasn't embarrassed at all. "I agree to write this down as a testimony!"

Mrs. Wu admired Chu Xuan's courage and didn't mind Chu Xuan hearing their conversation. "I agree."

Chu Xuan found paper and pen, and the three of them went to the main room, wrote three identical agreements, signed them and put their fingerprints on them.

Grandpa Zhang took one of them away.

Old Mrs. Chu put one portion in her pocket.

Chu Xuan put a copy into the bedroom.

Seeing that Tian Xiaoyun was still asleep, Chu Xuan simply called Old Lady Wu to the main room to have tea and chat.

"Grandma, from what Grandpa Zhang said just now, it seems that the Wu family is a very wealthy family with a very strong background."

Mrs. Chu said modestly, "It's only really taken off in the past two years. Your grandfather used to own several companies abroad, and they were doing well. But then he had a heart attack and passed away. The companies went from bad to worse, and your uncle and I persevered to keep them going. Now, the combined net profit of several companies is easily several hundred thousand yuan a year."

Chu Xuan said with admiration, "Grandma, you and uncle are amazing!"

"Your father and mother are quite capable. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to pay off the 200,000 yuan debt in just a few years. There's something I need to explain to you. After your mother's first surgery, relatives came to collect the debt, and our family couldn't help your parents because the company was on the verge of bankruptcy at the time, and only gradually recovered later. Otherwise, your mother would have come back to see you and Xiaofeng a few years ago. She was burdened with a huge debt, and she was afraid of dragging you two down..."

"I understand what my mother did. Grandma, thank you for helping my mother over the years!"

"You really don't have to thank me. Actually, I was always against your parents' marriage back then. Who would have thought that when I was against it, they weren't really together and it was a fake marriage. Later, I found out the truth and didn't bother to care about them anymore. Then, they actually fell in love with each other..."

"Thank you! You're not being lazy; you're letting things take their own course. Can you tell me about a time when you managed to turn the tide in the company's operations?"

Chu Xuan's few words made Old Lady Wu happy, and she started talking about the previous business wars.

After waking up, Tian Xiaoyun walked into the main hall and saw her mother-in-law and Chu Xuan having a happy conversation.

As soon as Chu Xuan saw her biological mother, she hurriedly whispered to her grandmother, telling her not to mention the bet to anyone else.

Old Mrs. Wu nodded and said she would keep the secret.

Due to her mother-in-law's authority, Tian Xiaoyun didn't dare to ask them directly what they were whispering about.

After greeting her mother-in-law politely, she gave Xiaoxuan a gentle smile.

Chu Xuan suddenly realized that her mother was a little afraid of her grandmother.

What is the cause?

I'll have to ask when I have time.

At this moment, Mu Chenze's voice rang out from outside the door, "Grandma, Mom, Xiaoxuan, I'm here to pick you up. Get in the car!"

Chu Xuan ran out and saw that Mu Chenze was actually driving the car towards him.

"How dare you drive around without a license?"

“I didn’t drive around, I just drove around the village.”

Mu Chenze got out of the car, opened the back door, and waited for Mrs. Wu and the others to get in.

I didn't notice the figure behind the tree...
